A tortoise is primarily an herbivore, meaning it mainly feeds on plant material such as grasses, leaves, and fruits. Some species may occasionally consume small amounts of animal protein, but their diet is predominantly plant-based. Therefore, they are not carnivores (meat-eaters) or omnivores (eating both plant and animal matter) but are classified as herbivores.
